Abstract
Aim: Our study aims to investigate the factors affecting the recurrence of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (P-BPPV).
Material and Method: Fifty-four patients diagnosed with P-BPPV were included in the study. Demographic characteristics of the patients, smoking, alcohol use, P-BPPV side, comorbid diseases, menopausal status, previous head trauma history, body mass index (BMI) and biochemical parameter results were recorded. Reposition maneuver (Epley) was applied to the patients, and the patients were followed up for six months. Fifty-four patients followed were divided into two groups according to P-BPPV recurrence. Twenty-three patients with relapsed P-BPPV were included in group I, and 31 patients with non-relapsed BPPV were included in group II.
Results: There was no difference between the two groups in terms of age, comorbid diseases, menopausal status, gender, BMI, smoking, alcohol use and biochemical parameters (p>0.05). The recurrence rate was lower in P-BPPV patients with right ear involvement (P
